i was never too into them before getting braces but now i love those frozen garden burger patties. they are so filling and easy to eat.

i hope you have some good news/changes at your next adjustment.

what are "phases?" and how do u know when you're done with one?

it's hard sometimes, right, how your lip sometimes gets stuck on a bracket as you start to smile.

even with my horrible teeth i always smile and laugh big. for me, i'm fine with the braces, but i'm still SOOO self conscious about smiling big with my gigantic extraction gaps.

blueberry, you sound just like me! i won't let braces, extractions, whatever interfere with my love of food. i even started eating pita chips only days after my extraction. it's been 3 wks since and i'm pretty much used to eating now. but yes, the first few days of adjusting to food falling into the...

health food/nutrition stores, organic food markets, or even online.

if you're having a hard time resuming a healthy diet, try wheat grass capsules. they will replenish proper levels of fiber/vegetable intake and also give you energy. capsules are easier for me to stomach b/c of no taste than the shots.

i'm in the west coast in the US and estimated treatment time 18-24 months (24 yrs old; slight class III maloccusion, some crowding and top and bottom, 4 extractions of first bicuspids)

rotadent toothbrush, love it!

i graduated from UGA in 2003, so not that long ago. i'm sure athens was a very different place in the early nineties. i love california too, so much that i'm staying in northern california after i finish grad school. i'm just surprised at how quiet berkeley seems as a college town compared to athens...

ingyandbert, i miss athens! and i love the gymdogs.
berkeley just doesn't compare...(except for the fact that sf is so close).
